Yeah, this is a tough one. I wholeheartedly supported blocking building giant apartment buildings directly across from one of our nicest parks so that rich a-holes could get a front row view of it at the expense of everybody else. I absolutely, 100% of the time will oppose building more rental units, when what we need is more owner-occupied housing. Why is nobody building condos?

With that being said, there is a high likeyhood that I will probably oppose everything else that she stands for. I'm going to guess (but I don't know) that she will be opposed to the Lone Pine Bike Park for the same reasons that she was opposed to the apartments, and I support LPBP 100%. I don't know, and I should ask.

I generally disregard the opinions of anybody who uses the word NIMBY. It's such a cop-out, disregarding the nuance of city planning. "Oh, you don't want a sewer treatment facility next to your house? NIMBY! We need that sewer treatment facility for the betterment of our entire community!" Of course people are going to protect their own interests and look out for the quality of life in the places they've chosen to live. People who say NIMBY will also oppose gentrification, and those two ideas are often opposites of each other in practice. Talk about gentrification, look at what's happened to Galloway in the last 20 years.

As long as I'm complaining about people who use specific words and phrases, I'm going to add "patriot", "black ice", "kids these days", "in this day and age", and also to hell with anybody who drives a new Mustang or truck that has to have a hitch with a lowering extension. Also people who make lists of things they don't like on the internet.
